I may not have spelled that right but I'm on the generic for Entocort. I started on it last Thurs. I have sweated profusely today, is this a side effect? Is there a chance it would only last a short while? This medicine is really starting to help, I hate to have to stop it at this point! I am watching my diet, no Gf, sugar, soy and breads. I should hear from my Enterolab test in a couple of wks and my vit B's soon.
Thanks for any help. Connie
Sweating with the busenide?

Hi Connie, Interesting. I hadn't thought about until I read your question. I live in South Florida, hot a lot of the time and the A/C in use a good part of the year. I used to keep my A/C at 78 degrees but now keep it at 74 degrees. I didn't make the connection but it is certainly possible the heat sensitivity was caused by budesinide. I've been off the steroid for a while and I'm still warm. Weird. Thinking back, my husband was complaining about being cold because I kept turning the A/C down. Poor guy. He would be freezing at 74.

Yes, you are all correct. Sweating (or excessive sweating) is a listed side effect of budesonide. It's listed under the "Less Common" side effects.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
It shouldn't hurt to try. There is never any point in taking a higher dose of a med than is necessary to do the job for which it was prescribed.
9 mg is the dose prescribed for a 300 lb man. Someone half that weight shouldn't need the same dose.
